About Jane

Jane Meyers is an LCSW who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and issues related to adoption and foster care. She draws on more than two decades of practice to support people facing addictions, sleep and eating problems, parenting pressures, anger, bipolar challenges, and complex medical or caregiving stress.

She focuses on helping people find practical answers that work for their life. Sessions are collaborative and aim to build skills for handling strong emotions, improving communication, and breaking unhelpful patterns. Jane blends conversational listening with skill-based tools so people leave with concrete steps they can try.

Her background includes 23 years as a social worker and varied roles in community and clinical settings. She has worked with people across many stages of life and has experience in mobile behavioral health and crisis counseling. Her Master of Social Work is from Marywood University and she holds an LCSW in New York.

In therapy she uses methods from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior ideas, and emotionally focused perspectives. Those methods are used flexibly to match each person’s goals and present needs. Jane also draws on existential ideas when people want to tackle life questions about meaning and purpose.

People who meet with her can expect straightforward conversation, practice of coping skills in session, and suggestions for small changes to try between visits. She offers sessions with attention to real-life routines and the challenges that come with parenting, caregiving, medical issues, and adoption or foster care concerns.

How Jane’s approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client’s lead. The therapist focuses on understanding each person’s experience and helping them name what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings skill-building for strong emotions and ways to tolerate distress without making things worse.

Deciding which approach to use is a team process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they pick or combine methods so sessions feel useful and realistic for the person’s life and needs.

Please confirm the current session options before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skills practice to work well in a digital setting so progress can continue between sessions.
